Shaun Bailey's Manifesto
Over the last five years, too many Londoners have started to feel like their city just isn’t working for them.Knife crime has hit record highs. Good homes are unaffordable. Our transport network is struggling to cope. And the cost of living keeps rising.It doesn’t have to be like this. London can have a fresh start — and I’ve got a plan to deliver it.1. Making our streets safer — by hiring 8,000 more police and reopening 38 police stations2. Helping young people get out of crime — with 32 new youth centres and 4,000 new youth workers3. Getting young Londoners on the housing ladder — by building 100,000 homes and selling them for £100,000 each4. Cleaning up London’s air — with a zero-emission bus fleet by 2025 and interest-free loans for black cab drivers to go electric5. Fixing TfL’s finances — by introducing corporate sponsorship to the tube network, so we protect under-18s’ and over-60s’ free travel6. A bigger, better transport network — with a London Infrastructure Bank that will fund things like Hammersmith Bridge repairs, tube upgrades and Crossrail 27. Reversing the congestion charge hike — and scrapping plans to extend the £12.50 daily ULEZ charge to outer London8. Saving each London household £307 — by reversing Sadiq Khan’s 10% council tax hike9. Standing up for outer boroughs — by scrapping Sadiq Khan’s plans to charge people £5.50 to drive into outer London. And by introducing 30-minutes free parking for outer boroughs10. Working constructively with government — I’ll work with ministers to get a better deal for London. And I’ll always take responsibility for London’s problemsAnd my plan will create 924,000 jobs over the next five years.Shaun BaileyConservative candidate for Mayor of London
